The French Swing Quartet

French Romani jazz and swing inform a performance led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vincent Raffard. The French Swing Quintet performs Saturday, November 21 at the Off the Shelf Stage at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus in Downtown Miami, as part of Miami Book Fair. Raffard founded The French Horn Collective in 2012, developing a musical project that performs in varying configurations across South Florida and internationally. A trumpeter, guitarist and pianist, he draws on influences ranging from traditional French jazz to electronic and global sounds, with songwriting and lyrics central to his approach. Admission is free.
